Biography
I am a Mexican biologist and palaeontologist. I completed my undergrad in Biology at the Autonomous University of the State of Hidalgo, Mexico. I then moved to the UK to complete an MSc and PhD in Palaeobiology at the University of Bristol, where I've been studying the function and ecology of extinct mammals. I'm currently a Research Associate working on a project to understand the timing and origin of the traits that define mammals.
